The organisers also shared a quote by the Director of Play Therapy – Charles E SchaeferWe are never more fully alive or more completely ourselves or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing.’

They added that no matter your age or background, everybody enjoys moments of light-hearted and playful energy. Sometimes, the best way to truly be ourselves is through the act of letting your hair down and embracing that sense of playfulness.

“We love that we get the chance to be playful together at the Cape Town Carnival! That we get to see wacky and wild costumes and floats, that we get to see performers and the audience beaming with joy and that we get to see the street transformed with color and imagination!” said the organizers.
